Mermaid Oath

"Huh... the air on this planet is pretty good." After Qi Nan opened the rescue capsule, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air.

I don't know how many years this planet has been forgotten. Except for a human base near the ruins, other places still maintain this ancient forest environment.

The fresh air, the swaying branches, even if according to the location calculation, there was a small accident in their rescue cabin, it didn't land at the originally planned location, and it couldn't spoil Qi Nan's good mood at this time.

Luo Xiuze also came out of the emergency cabin, breathing in the fresh air, and his mood brightened.

On the other hand, Tracy, when she learned that they didn't land at the scheduled location, her face became a little ugly.Qi Nan asked her a question, and the answer she got was that anything that happened beyond the plan might represent unpredictable consequences, and the red-haired woman didn't like such accidents very much.

"Don't worry, we haven't lost our way, but we have deviated from the scheduled location...well...probably...well, it's a bit far, but we can still walk back. Anyway, the mission stated that three days is You have to start counting from entering the ruins, don't worry that it will affect the mission."

Tracy was still not very energetic, but since the accident had already happened, no amount of thinking would help. Fortunately, she still had two teammates, otherwise it would be very difficult to find the way back.

I don't know what's wrong with the navigation. The place where they landed is almost the same as the planned place. If they only walk there on two legs, it will take at least three days... Tracy feels upset when she thinks about this kind of thing Chaos, this is not a good sign.

Tracy has a little prophetic bloodline. In their civilization, the prophetic bloodline is a very powerful bloodline that can predict the future.However, Tracy's blood was already very thin, and at most she could only have a premonition of some things related to herself—not necessarily [-]% correct.

You must know that premonitions are illusory in themselves, so Tracy herself can't confirm whether her current upset is foreseeing some kind of danger, or some kind of emotion caused by the unsmooth development of things.

"Tracy, are you alright?" Luo Xiuze asked casually after noticing that Tracy had been in a bad mood since she landed.

Tracy took a deep breath, thought about it, and decided to tell the story.

Her ability to become a member of the Cosmic Alliance proved her strength. This premonition may not be accurate, but it is always good to be prepared.

Hearing what she said, Luo Xiuze pondered for a moment, signaled that he understood, and then continued on his way calmly as if nothing had happened.

Tracy let out a long breath. She didn't know why she felt relieved when she saw Luo Xiuze so calm. Could it be... this is some kind of faint premonition?

The three of them walked for a whole day. The road in the primeval forest was really not easy. Fortunately, it is not easy to become an employee of the Cosmic Alliance. Although Tracy has a hot figure and revealing clothes, her physical fitness is really good. , keeping up with Luo Xiuze and Qi Nan's speed is easy and effortless, and I can't see the slightest frailty of women...

As for the two cats... they have been despised by Little K all the way.

However, Little K's disdain was useless, the two cats met Little K's gaze all the way, sitting gracefully on the backpacks of Luo Xiuze and Qi Nan, with a particularly calm expression.

Small k: "...convex =="

"The conditions here are good, let's rest here tonight." After a day's trek, Luo Xiuze looked at the surrounding environment and asked Qi Nan and Tracy.

Tracy knew that Qi Nan was mainly asking herself, so she nodded. This happened to be an open area in the woods, and the nearest woods were 20 meters away. If something rushed out of the woods, could it Give them plenty of reaction time.

After setting up the cordon, Qi Nan and Tracy began to prepare dinner. Luo Xiuze let go of his mental power and scanned the surrounding tens of kilometers to confirm that there was no danger beyond his ability. Only then did he restrain his mental strength and control the monitoring range to about five kilometers.

After a few people had eaten, they went directly into the tent to rest, and they would continue on their way tomorrow. Only by recovering their strength as soon as possible could they gain more time.

The night slowly fell, and the cry of the night owl could be heard from time to time in the quiet forest.

The infrared defense equipment placed on the outermost periphery was shrouded in a layer of faint green smoke, and soon lost its effect. Countless slender shadows quickly crossed this distance and rushed directly into the camp.

These shadows were silent, like ghosts, groped into the tents. Unexpectedly, the planned sneak attack was discovered by a person who was accidentally awakened by a nightmare. After a scream, the entire camp exploded, counting A black figure ran out of the tent carrying a humanoid object, and quickly disappeared into the night...

"Enemy attack!" The sharp voice stopped abruptly after shouting these two words, which naturally brought endless fear to others.

Fortunately, these people are also elite employees. They were a little confused when they were attacked at first, but they quickly calmed down and started to fight back.

As soon as these people united, the black shadows immediately began to retreat, and quickly disappeared into the dark bushes, as if they had never appeared before.

"Damn...what's going on here?" A pale man looked at the mess on the ground and said angrily with a gloomy face.

Several other people standing with him also looked ugly. Except for the mess on the ground, all the people who were stunned and injured by them were dragged away by them, even the dead bodies were not released. Pass.

If the enemy just took away their own corpses, it could be said that they didn't want to be exposed, but if they also took away the corpses of their staff, then things would be bad.

Anything that requires a corpse often means great trouble. Don’t think that there are no cults in the interstellar era, no... It should be said that the cults in the interstellar era are even more exaggerated. They have even learned to keep pace with the times. Those evil rituals in ancient times It still exists today. Although the Cosmic Alliance has also studied it, it has never figured out what kind of existence those rituals communicate.

Is it the will of the planet?Or a mysterious creature in the universe?

In some civilizations, what is the so-called 'god'?

Similar doubts exist in the minds of many people, but they can be limited by the insufficiency of many conditions. So far, no one has been able to study this problem thoroughly.

It is precisely because there are still many things that science cannot explain, so the Cosmic Alliance is not the only combination of forces in the entire universe. They also have a deadly enemy, which is an organization called Holy Radiance, but this organization has been hidden in the Underwater, and dedicated to explaining the world with the power of 'God', is exactly the opposite of the science and technology supremacy of the Cosmic Alliance.

"Could it be that group of lunatics from Holy Radiance again?" A humanoid creature with a green fish head asked with lingering fear.

The pale man shook his head: "I don't know. But I have a very bad premonition. This time... we encountered an electromagnetic storm for no reason, and we made a navigation error and moved away from the predetermined location... I always feel as if there is a black hand behind the scenes."

The murloc slammed his mouth: "I don't think it's very good either, or... ask the base for help? Although it's a bit embarrassing, it may involve divine brilliance. The alliance shouldn't count our mission as a failure, right?"

A slender woman smiled bitterly: "Now it's not a question of whether the mission fails or not, but... we lost contact with the satellite."

"What?" A panicked man said, "What does it mean to lose contact? Are we going to be trapped here? I don't want to die here."

The woman gave him a disdainful look, and said calmly: "Our signal has been blocked, and there is no way to contact other people. I don't know where the problem is. I am not proficient in this area."

The pale man and the murloc looked at each other, and quickly checked their optical brain, then their hearts sank. As the woman said, most of the functions of the optical brain can still be used, but the communication has lost signal.

"It's useless to think so much. Anyway, if you want to survive, you have to return to the base. Everyone should be careful in the next trip. I don't think these people will let us go back so easily. Oh, yes, When sleeping, everyone takes turns. Our defense equipment is aimed at wild beasts. If the enemy is an intelligent creature, it is likely that he has mastered the technology of shielding our defense equipment. Then, like this night, someone sneaked into the camp. , none of you will want to live."

The rest of the people agreed with the murloc's words, they discussed it, and quickly arranged the night watch order.Although the battle just now was very frightening, such an environment is not enough to cause these elite staff to collapse. They are also senior staff who have gone through many tests. If they can be defeated so easily, then the Cosmic Alliance has long been The group was destroyed by the holy light!

The night was not peaceful. The locations where these personnel landed belonged to different areas. According to their strength, these shadows also assigned different people to sneak attack these personnel.

There were victories and losses in the sneak attack. Some shadows directly wiped out a camp in the dark, while some shadows were all buried in the camp because of some people's caution.

But no matter what, all the staff realized that night that this planet was not as safe as they imagined. The black hand hiding in the dark left a shadow on the hearts of every member who was still alive.

"Who are these people? Why are they attacking us?" Qi Nan looked at the corpses on the ground, frowning tightly.

Being attacked for no reason, no one would be in a good mood.What's more, these black shadows are thin and small, flexible in movement but very numb in expression, with dull eyes, and they don't look like normal human beings.
